Plans Revealed For Park & Ride Facilities On N11/M11.

The NTA Park & Ride Office presented to Wicklow County Council on October 3rd, 2022.

The NTA Park & Ride Office presented to Wicklow County Council on October 3rd, 2022. Their presentation included the following potential upgrades to Wicklow's public transport system:

•  600 spaces @ Greystones
•  400 spaces @ Fassaroe
•  200 spaces @ Ashford-Rathnew
•  Bus services every 15-20 minutes
•  25% space to have electric vehicle charging points
•  Integrated Leap Card
•  Feeder Bus Access
•  Luas planned to be extended

Independent Councillor for Greystones Stephen Stokes welcomed the update, saying that:

"This is amazing news. I asked a number of questions of the Park & Ride Office, and had encouraging answers. The NTA confirmed that the extension of the Luas from Brides Glen is also on the cards."

As a regular commuter on the 84X, Cllr Stephen Stokes urged that the new Park & Ride public transport be available much more widely than the 84X. Cllr Stokes stated:

"The 84X is a good service, but it is very constrained with the times. It will be important to have wide ranging times, with well lit and safe car parks especially for female commuters."
